(If there is a legitimate need to correctly encode and pack a
disklabel with an invalid checksum custom tools can be built for
that.)
Make bsd_disklabel_le_dec() validate the magics, number of partitions
(against a new parameter) and the checksum.
Vastly simplify the logic of the GEOM::BSD class implementation:
Let g_bsd_modify() always take a byte-stream label.
This simplifies all users, except the ioctl's which now have to
convert to a byte-stream first. Their loss.
g_bsd_modify() is called with topology held now, and it returns
with it held.
Always update the md5sum in g_bsd_modify(), otherwise the check
is no use after the first modification of the label. Make the
MD5 over the bytestream version of the label.
Move the rawoffset hack to g_bsd_modify() and remove all the
inram/ondisk conversions.
Don't configure hotspots in g_bsd_modify(), do it in taste instead,
we do not support moving the label to a different location on the
fly anyway.
This passes all current regression tests.
test is built to test GEOM as running in the kernel.
This commit is basically "unifdef -D_KERNEL" to remove the mainly #include
related code to support the userland-harness.

Attribute g_call_me() to appropriate g_geom's where necessary.
Add a flag argument to g_call_me() methods which will be used to signal
cancellation of events in the future.

labeled disk.
This is complicated by the fact that BBSIZE is greater than the
PAGE_SIZE limit ioctl inflicts on arguments which are automatically
copied in.
As long as we don't need access to userland memory (copyin/out) we
can deal with the ioctl using g_callme() which executes it from the
GEOM event thread.
Once we need copyin/out, we need to return the bio with EDIRIOCTL
in order to make geom_dev call us back in the original process context
where copyin will work.
Unfortunately, that results in us getting called with Giant, so
we have to DROP_GIANT/PICKUP_GIANT around the code where we diddle
GEOMs internals.
Sometimes you just can't win...
... But it does make geom_bsd.c an almost complete example of the
GEOM beastiarium.
some trick is necessary to prevent further BSD geoms from attaching to
that. Our old trick was to make sure we don't attach to a geom from
the "BSD" class, but this doesn't work if an intermediary geom obscures
this fact. Instead, calculate the MD5 checksum of the label we target
and ask if anybody below us loves that label. If they do we don't.

don't take the detour over the I/O path to discover them using getattr(),
we can just pick them out directly.
Do note though, that for now they are only valid after the first open
of the underlying disk device due compatibility with the old disk_create()
API. This will change in the future so they will always be valid.

that this will make people use this for their future copy&paste operations.
Rework the detection of raw-disk offsets in disklabels. This actually
unearthed a number of bugs in the (now) previous version.
Also accept labels which don't have a magic RAW_PART, provided they don't
confuse us too much.
Change the order of our sanity-checks on labels found on disks to be more
robust.
Check against MAXPARTITIONS in our sanity-check and reject disklabels
we cannot cope with.
Create new g_bsd_modify() function to implment disklabel modifying
ioctls.
Implement DIOCSDINFO and DIOCWDINFO with the provision that the latter
still not writes your change back to disk. I didn't have the nerves
for that yet.
In the start routine, use g_call_me() for complex ioctls to prevent
sleeping.

This will eventually replace g_slice_addslice() which gets changed from
grabbing topology to requing it in this commit as well.

the relevant classes.
Some methods may implement various "magic spaces", this is reserved
or magic areas on the disk, set a side for various and sundry purposes.
A good example is the BSD disklabel and boot code on i386 which occupies
a total of four magic spaces: boot1, the disklabel, the padding behind
the disklabel and boot2. The reason we don't simply tell people to
write the appropriate stuff on the underlying device is that (some of)
the magic spaces might be real-time modifiable. It is for instance
possible to change a disklabel while partitions are open, provided
the open partitions do not get trampled in the process.
